Protein

lamindb provides access to the following public Protein ontologies through bionty:

  1. Uniprot

Here we show how to access and search Protein ontologies to standardize new data.

import bionty as bt
import pandas as pd

PublicOntology objects

Let us create a public ontology accessor with .public method, which chooses a default public ontology source from Source. It’s a PublicOntology object, which you can think about as a public registry:

proteins = bt.Protein.public(organism="human")
proteins
💡 connected lamindb: testuser1/test-public-ontologies


PublicOntology
Entity: Protein
Organism: human
Source: uniprot, 2024-03
#terms: 204088

As for registries, you can export the ontology as a DataFrame:

df = proteins.df()
df.head()
uniprotkb_id name description length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids
0 A0A023HJ61 Ras-related protein Rab-4A 121 RAB4A None
1 A0A023HN28 SRSF3 USP6 fusion protein 16 None None
2 A0A023I7F4 Cytochrome b 380 CYTB None
3 A0A023I7H2 NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 5 603 EC 7.1.1.2 ND5 None
4 A0A023I7H5 ATP synthase subunit a 226 ATP6 None

Unlike registries, you can also export it as a Pronto object via public.ontology.

Look up terms

As for registries, terms can be looked up with auto-complete:

lookup = proteins.lookup()

The . accessor provides normalized terms (lower case, only contains alphanumeric characters and underscores):

lookup.ac3
Protein(uniprotkb_id='Q8IX81', name='AC3', description='', length=502, synonyms='', gene_symbol=None, ensembl_gene_ids=None)

To look up the exact original strings, convert the lookup object to dict and use the [] accessor:

lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
lookup_dict["AC3"]
Protein(uniprotkb_id='Q8IX81', name='AC3', description='', length=502, synonyms='', gene_symbol=None, ensembl_gene_ids=None)

By default, the name field is used to generate lookup keys. You can specify another field to look up:

lookup = proteins.lookup(proteins.gene_symbol)
lookup.rab4a
[Protein(uniprotkb_id='A0A023HJ61', name='Ras-related protein Rab-4A', description='', length=121, synonyms='', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids=None),
 Protein(uniprotkb_id='P20338', name='Ras-related protein Rab-4A', description='', length=218, synonyms='EC 3.6.5.2', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids='ENST00000366690.5;'),
 Protein(uniprotkb_id='A0A087WYT5', name='RAB4A', description='member RAS oncogene family', length=113, synonyms='', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids='ENST00000618010.4;')]

Search terms

Search behaves in the same way as it does for registries:

proteins.search("RAS").head(3)
uniprotkb_id description length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
Ras Q96PV0 Rap GTPase-activating protein SynGAP 1343 Neuronal RasGAP|Synaptic Ras GTPase-activating... SYNGAP1 ENST00000395071.6 [Q96PV0-4];ENST00000414753.6... 100.0
Ras A0A140T8W4 Rap GTPase-activating protein SynGAP 487 SYNGAP1 ENST00000355818.3; 100.0
Hexosyltransferase R4X604 151 EC 2.4.1.- B3GALNT1 None 90.0

By default, search also covers synonyms:

proteins.search("member of RAS oncogene family like 2B").head(3)
uniprotkb_id description length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
Chromosome 9 open reading frame 86 G3V154 isoform CRA_d 471 RAB, member RAS oncogene family like 6 RABL6 ENST00000464941.5;ENST00000629216.2; 85.333333
RAB28 protein Q8WVF3 95 RAB28, member RAS oncogene family RAB28 ENST00000508274.5;ENST00000630951.1; 74.285714
H.sapiens ras-related Hrab6 protein A0A024R5J5 208 RAB6A, member RAS oncogene family, isoform CRA_a RAB6A None 68.235294

You can turn this off synonym by passing synonyms_field=None:

proteins.search("member of RAS oncogene family like 2B", synonyms_field=None).head(3)
uniprotkb_id description length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
MAS1 oncogene-like Q502V9 378 MAS1L None 61.818182
MYB proto-oncogene like 1 E7EWZ1 410 MYBL1 ENST00000517885.5; 61.290323
Cbl proto-oncogene like 1 F8WEM5 67 CBLL1 ENST00000432748.5; 58.064516

Search another field (default is .name):

proteins.search(
    "RABL2B",
    field=proteins.gene_symbol,
).head()
uniprotkb_id name description length synonyms ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
gene_symbol
RABL2B A0A8I5KRY9 RAB member of RAS oncogene family like 2B 58 ENST00000685352.1; 100.0

RABL2B F2Z2T3 RAB member of RAS oncogene family like 2B 99 ENST00000395590.5; 100.0

Standardize Protein identifiers

Let us generate a DataFrame that stores a number of Protein identifiers, some of which corrupted:

df_orig = pd.DataFrame(
    index=[
        "A0A024QZ08",
        "X6RLV5",
        "X6RM24",
        "A0A024QZQ1",
        "This protein does not exist",
    ]
)
df_orig
A0A024QZ08
X6RLV5
X6RM24
A0A024QZQ1
This protein does not exist

We can check whether any of our values are validated against the ontology reference:

validated = proteins.validate(df_orig.index, proteins.name)
df_orig.index[~validated]
5 terms (100.00%) are not validated: A0A024QZ08, X6RLV5, X6RM24, A0A024QZQ1, This protein does not exist
Index(['A0A024QZ08', 'X6RLV5', 'X6RM24', 'A0A024QZQ1',
       'This protein does not exist'],
      dtype='object')

Ontology source versions

For any given entity, we can choose from a number of versions:

When instantiating a Bionty object, we can choose a source or version:

source = bt.Source.filter(
    name="uniprot", version="2023-03", organism="human"
).one()
proteins= bt.Protein.public(source=source)
proteins
